“Outstanding craft cocktails and delicious food! I only wish I had found them on my first night in Rahway rather than my last. I would have been here every night…“

“Excellent food and outstanding staff. Our server was Jen and she couldn’t have been nicer. My nephew, Max Clayton, is performing in White Christmas at the Papermill. We were a group of 10 from NH looking for a place for dinner before the show. Max raved about the food at the Millburn Standard and recommended we go there. The staff was friendly, very accommodating to our large party (we did call for reservations, but they don’t take them) and the food was excellent (get the nachos!) They were just as nice when we came back after the play just to sit and have drinks. I feel like they went out of their way to accommodate us and we are all most appreciative. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“A Steak Lover's Paradise: Strickland's Steakhouse Our recent holiday dinner at Strickland's Steakhouse was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we stepped into the elegant dining room, we were greeted with warm hospitality and attentive service. Eva, our server, was truly exceptional. Her extensive knowledge of the menu and daily specials made our dining experience even more enjoyable. She was attentive, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile. The appetizers were a delightful prelude to the main course. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The steaks were the highlight of the evening. The Japanese A5 Wagyu was a revelation - tender, juicy, and incredibly flavorful. Every bite was pure indulgence. To top off the meal, we indulged in a variety of delectable desserts and rich coffees. The perfect ending to a perfect evening. Strickland's Steakhouse is a must-visit for any steak lover. The combination of exceptional food, impeccable service, and elegant ambiance makes it a truly memorable dining experience. We highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning in the future.“

“Amazing culinary and social experience. The place is absolutely beautiful and makes you feel like you’re in manhattan or somewhere other than Staten Island with its beautiful decor. The food backs up the beauty of the place. The staff is friendly and eager to please. I have also been to two of the tasting events. First the wine and second the tequila. 5 course meals paired with delicious cocktails and beverages. Look forward to more events and dining experiences in the future. Great job to the staff at Le Malt.“

“Great place had fun with friends. Good friendy staff an food looks really good. Even though I didn't actually order any myself this first visit. Also 2 for 1 shots all night definitely helped even more. They also have touch tunes jukebox. Recommend to all visit this establishment.“

“I wish they played more hip hop but it was great

I need to find out what DJ plays the good music and because that's the day I want to go I don't like standing around because I don't know what song or because it's not my vibe five songs back to back not being my vibe I want to leave now but then that one song is on and I want to stay so it's like play more of that. No one's dancing when it's music that's not liked. I have a playlist of all the music that's in right now and all the music that people love to have I can give it to every DJ that shows up“

“Amazing Restaurant! Good food, service and cocktails .. Sam the server was very informative about the restaurants daily events ( happy hour, brunch etc.) I will definitely return ..“

“Food is awesome. Service is top notch.“

“if you like good food this is the place to go. We had a little bit of everything. Highly recommend the cheese and meat board and the gnocchi is amazing. The winner of the night was the tuna and don't skip dessert. We will come back.“

“Amazing great food excellent customer service my waiter had knowledge of the the items on the menu with her suggestion support it made it easy to make sure we were going to have a great experience. The food was phenomenal. I recommend 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I went at an unusual time, to late for lunch and to early for dinner. The service was excellent and my chicken piccata was wonderful, the portion was generous. Next time I will try the seafood risotto. The prices seemed far and I will definitely be back.“

“The host Ranjitha and team deccan spice were excellent. Would recommend to everybody😊“

“This place is a true gem, with a great vibe. Authentic cuisine and great drinks. The food was delicious, our server Kimani was great! Music was tasteful and not too loud. Decor was modern tropical. Highly recommended if you are in to Afro Carribean cuisine or you want to try something different.“

“I love this place they are so delicious but I had a painful experience when the churro filling got onto my hands now they are very red but it’s ok they were really good. I would definitely get the churros again but maybe use a fork to eat them so they don’t burn my hands.

I also feel like the music is too loud. I don’t have sensory issues, but the volume of that music is making me rethink some things.

Keep up the great work hobrah’s. I’ll be back for my churros with a fork next time.

(As you can see the food was so good I took it to go, but my fingers are red from the burn)“

“thank you to the owner and staff I came here to day with my family to celebrate my mom 65 birthday we had great night food and drinks were amazing“

“I expected this tour to be good, but it far exceeded (and not just because of the cocktail provided on arrival!) With a host who is deeply knowledgeable, a great presenter and clearly passionate about the quality and production of his spirits, you get a detailed explanation of the history and development of distilling in Europe and New Jersey, the processes used by All Points West, a brief chemistry lesson and the opportunity to taste the difference in the spirits distilled. Then it was about enjoying our choice of cocktails...... Thank you Gil“

“My Third time there in a few weeks. Great Atmosphere and ambiance. Bartender, Jacob.....superb. Greeted us coming in seated us, served us superb drinks. On Point. My New place to go ! Thank you“

“Being allergic to gluten makes dining out extremely challenging. I can finally eat a friend chicken sandwich again and it’s an amazing feeling! Not only that, but the gluten free bun and breeding are amazing! Thanks so much for giving a darn about a forgotten part of the population.“

“Delicious with excellent service.“

“We had a beautiful ladies luncheon at the restaurant and the food, service & ambiance was above & beyond.... Truly a gem !!!!!!! Thank you“

“Loved the place overall.amazing menu .“

“Unbeatable Service – Quinn Keeps Us Coming Back! This bar lounge has become our favorite spot, and it’s all because of the incredible service! Every week, we’re welcomed like family, and Quinn always makes sure we have an unforgettable experience. Quinn is an absolute pro behind the bar—crafting amazing cocktails with precision and personality, always knowing exactly what we’ll love. The drinks are always perfect, the atmosphere is unbeatable, and the service is what keeps us coming back week after week. Huge shoutout to Quinn for making this place feel like home. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out! Highly recommend!“

“Food was very good. Had Fajita Duo and Cheese Nachos. Prices were decent. Menu was limited. Problem was the flour pancakes were very small (Maybe 6" round (4) for the dinner we had. Six Tortillas would of been fine for that dinner. We asked for more and they gave us 3. Noticing the bill I WAS CHARGED for the 3 extra ($2.50)? That's Not Good Business. I have never been charged for a few extra tortillas. I will not go back or recommend. Disappointed. It was freezing in there.“

“It’s great to see this restaurant open again! The food is outstanding, every dish is flavorful and perfectly done. The event menu is creative, delicious, and truly stands out, offering something fresh and different. The service is excellent, super attentive and professional from start to finish. Everything felt well organized and welcoming. Definitely a place worth visiting and recommending.“

“The food was absolutely delicious. I definitely will be back.“

“I like this spot , I come by first time in 2014 a d I still coming when I get New Jersey, I really like the food“

“Thank you to Rob and staff. Everything was great last night.“

“This is the first 5 Star restaurant we have found in NJ since moving in 1991 from Manhatten. Four of us went this past sunday evening. Everything was 5 star,including food; Niavh's (Irish name pronounced as Nieve) service; and the personable manager, Dave. Gorgeous wood and glass. Great Ambience. Easy to park. Could not be happier!“

“In my opinion, this is truly the BEST restaurant on Staten Island. It blows away some of the finest steakhouses in the world. They also make their own fresh pasta and bread daily. The staff goes above and beyond always to ensure your pleasure.

They have the most ❤️ BEAUTIFUL ❤️ party room too & host wonderful events/experiences.

If you need a GUARANTEED greatly successful meal/date/party/family gathering/wedding -
Trattoria Toscana is your best choice.“

“I honestly loved Keepers. The vibe is incredible… it feels cozy and cool at the same time and the space is perfect whether you go for breakfast brunch or dinner. The dining room is beautiful too the décor is so well done and the whole place just feels really inviting.

The service was amazing and the food was honestly so good. And I have to say this… the best sangria I’ve ever had was here. I asked for a sweet sangria and they made it exactly how I like it and OMG it was delicious.

Such a great spot… I can’t wait to go back.“

“Went there 2 weeks ago with a couple of friends. Food was delicious. The staff were very nice. They had a verity of mixed drinks and beer. I highly recommend trying this place out.“

“Visited with friends for Dinner and Drinks, and we all had a great time. Cocktail options were limited but they were strong. Most of the Food item was good, but the Chicken was a little bit dry.

Service was a bit relaxed despite the place being not that crowded but the Staff were friendly and polite. Overall, pretty good option for Dinner and Drinks.“

“Sunday funday football brunch is the place to be. Fabulous food. Great selection of draft beer! The staff is very friendly. Highly recommend the Deviled eggs and Pimento bread dip.“

“Muy Recomendable excelente servicio,muy lindas las niñas que nos atendieron,Rumba increíble“

“Haven’t been here in over 5years, was in the area so I brought a friend. Nothing has changed (hasn’t been updated) however the food still didn’t miss a beat, still so tasty and delicious. They offer some great happy hours throughout the week , the one we stubbled upon was 50% off the whole food menu all day !!! Great. 😊 the service at first was good but they seemed to be changing shifts and the next bartender was not as helpful. Overall dolce, is still standing strong, I want to come try the rest of the menu.“

“I have been going to Marlos for years, and I love how they have remodeled the place. And the food is the best.“

“I ordered for the first time last night. I ordered pick up and the food was hot and fresh upon picking up. we ordered the garlic knot Sicilian, my kids loved it and it in general the pizza was good . we ordered the boneless wings also were good. the pork ribs amazing just wish they had dry rub options. spinach and artichoke dip, cheese needed to melt but flavor was good and large portion. potato croquettes were also delish and come with sauce . the staten island chicken panini and twisted were also delish! beef empanadas a lil soggy but more from transport but flavor was good . (maybe dff type of container or poke holes in future ) we also had a frozen sangria that I wished after we had ordered more.. will def order again!“

“The food is good, service is usually poor, and it usually takes a long time to get your food. My family put me on this spot and I want to give higher ratings but I need the waiter not to be in street clothes making it hard to figure out who is taking orders, answer the phone, stop letting people crowd the register where you take orders, a take orders over the phone especially if ppl willing to pay with debit.“

“Great food 😋 👌 awesome environment!!!“

“Súper ricoooo todoooo 20/10!!“

“I love how fast paced this restaurant is but it is so laid back that you can stay here and talk for a few hours“

“My first time at this location at it definitely did not disappoint. First recommendation.... Make a reservation especially during the holiday season. I did but plenty of people just showed up and there was such a long wait. Maybe because we went on Saturday for lunch and it's the holidays so the mall's extra busy. Staff: With our reservation we were taken on time. The staff/host/hostess were all welcoming and friendly. We were checked in immediately and taken to our table on schedule. Our waitress was great. She was the perfect amount of attentive. We didn't feel rushed. Meal: Where do I start with the food and beverages. Well it was all so delicious. I was so pleased with all the meal choices. Everything tasted so fresh. Atmosphere: Busy. Again it's the holidays so expect the restaurant to be packed. But it wasn't loud enough where I couldn't hold a conversation. I would say the tables for 2 could be tight if you're seated by a column. Overall: This will be my go to when I'm in that area and at The Short Hills Mall. Thank you to the Chef and entire team who made it such a delicious lunch. My meal.....
